Fantastic Forces Online Science Adventure

PULL UP A CHAIR AS WE PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF PHYSICS IN THIS INTERACTIVE PROGRAM ABOUT FORCES. USING A COMBINATION OF DEMONSTRATIONS AND HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES, STUDENTS WILL EXPLORE AND TEST THE FORCES ACTING ON A VARIETY OF OBJECTS.

Is inertia stronger than friction? We'll investigate pushes and pulls and uncover some fantastic things that forces can do.

Choose a 40 minute session or a 60 minute session that includes a facilitated activity.
